Sherbet + Mint Colorblocking!
You guys, if you’ve been after this mint pleated skirt from Mod Cloth and saw that they were sold out a while ago… I apologize. It was my fault. I snatched up the last one.
Although, I think it’s back in stock now.
After I saw the fabulous Bonnie of Mini Me Style rock this skirt a couple times, I knew I needed it. I am not usually an impulse buyer or shopper – but it happened. Fast. I called it a “job well done, there’s a small surplus in this month’s budget, ergo, Molly needs this skirt” end of June purchase. Or something.
I am in lurve with this skirt. It’s the perfect material. It’s comfortable. It’s soft. It’s flowy. It’s a gorgeous color. IT DOESN’T WRINKLE!
READ: IT DOESN’T WRINKLE. My golly, I love things that don’t wrinkle cause when you sit all day like I do, clothes tend to wrinkle. And wrinkles are no bueno.
I also just love how feminine and fun it is. I feel like a lady in this skirt! You know, a REAL LADY!
Although, be careful, y’all… I would wear a slip with it… cause if/when the wind blows, you don’t wanna show your neighbors your under-gotchyas.
Standard thumbs up.
Outfit Deets:
- Sherbet Shirt: Target
- Mint Pleated Skirt: ModCloth
- Bubble Necklace: JCrew via eBay via Hong Kong
- Blush Flats: Fab’rik Chapel Hill (local boutique)
- Gold Belt: Belk? Old…
- Bangles: JewelMint
I love that this skirt is so versatile, too. I already have like four other colors I wanna pair with it. HUZZAH!!
Also, I’m not going to lie… when I type out the words: “Sherbet Shirt” – it makes me want to try and say them three times fast. It’s not easy. I tried it.
Sherbet shirt.
Sherbet shirt.
Sherbet shirt.
hahaha. oh man. that happened.
Do you have a skirt or a piece of clothing that you just LOVE?! Happy Tuesday, y’all!
Linking up with Every Body, Every Wear today!
Also, today is my two-year date-iversary with my husband. Two years ago today I went to a Toby Keith concert with him and eight of his dude friends, ate too much Bojangles in a gravel parking lot, jammed to country music whilst awkwardly flirting and then, after the concert, he planted one on me while filling up the tank to his truck.
We are the ultimate in romance.
And the rest was history.
J, thanks for letting me tag along with you and your friends two years ago… even though the concert was my idea in the first place. 😉 Thank you for being an amazing husband, my best friend, and an even more incredible man of God. You make me laugh more than anyone I know, you challenge me to be a better person, and you treat me better than sometimes I feel like I deserve. I love you like Jesus does.
all for now.
Aside from how gorgeous these colors are together, I just LOOOVVEEE reading your posts-they’re so entertaining.

The sherbert and mint combo is SO pretty. I can see why you fell head over heels for this skirt. It’s awesome!
thank you SO much, girl!
Molly I am IN LOVE with your outfit! That color combination is great and I’m a lover of Target boyfriend tees. 🙂

thank you SO much, jess! i love target boyfriend tees, too! they’re SO COMFORTABLE! i have them in like four colors!
You’ve got such cute style! I always love each outfit you wear!
thank you SO much, lisa! same to you – i LOVE your classy style!
gorgeous color combo!
thank you so much!
Love these 2 colors together! Looks great! To be honest, mint usually isn’t my favorite color, but seeing the two colors together is making me think I might need to add something mint to my wardrobe 🙂
thank you so much, alexia! i definitely wasn’t the biggest mint fan earlier either… but it has grown on me SO much!
That skirt is so nice…mint + pleats = perfection. I seem to have the worst luck at ModCloth…as in I always hum and hah for too long and then whatever I want is sold out!
PS: You and your man look super cute in that picture!

aw thank you SO much, raj!! i’m the same way – i haven’t had much success with modcloth so i was PUMPED when this worked out the way it did!!
Happy date-iversary!
You are too funny. I absolutely enjoyed reading your blog.
I think you’re about to make me click on the link and buy that skirt, too. It’s gorgeous, and I love how you said that it doesn’t wrinkle because I don’t have a good relationship with the iron. It likes my husband more since I just ignore its presence. I use the ironing board to put things on, not to iron. Haha. Anyway, I love the look! 🙂 Great colors!
aw thank you so much, trinnah!! you are so sweet. i hope you get the skirt – i really do love it so much. and i am TERRRRRRRIBLE with an iron. seriously. i burn clothes!
Under gotchyas?!?!? Oh my word lady, you have me rolling up here in Idaho! And you’re right, Bonnie rocked it very well and you do too!
hahahahah right? i’m glad you noticed that. for some reason that term for underwear cracks me up so i am trying to make it popular. LOL. thanks, girl!!
You and your hubby are TOO CUTE in that photo! Love your color blocking… pleated skirts like that are my favey too!

When I saw the title of this post I squealed in excitement a little bit because I knew THE SKIRT was going to be featured! You look BEAUTIFUL!!! Doesn’t it rock?

Happy dateiversary Molly!! I can’t believe it’s only been two years since you went on your first date! He knew a good one, huh? How long have you been married? Tim and I will have been together 4 years when we get married. Ha!
